Dessy Levinson, Founder and CEO of CRATE, a technology-enabled framework for cognitive and emotional resilience shares key insights from her book, From Overwhelm to Flow: Sailing the Seas of Self with Courage, Meaning, and Resilience.”

In From Overwhelm to Flow, Dessy T. Levinson draws on neuroscience, psychology, and 20 years in advertising and venture capital to offer a radical new way of understanding intensity and uncertainty. Instead of resisting overwhelm, she invites us to transform it into a source of creativity and resilience.

Through powerful stories and research, Levinson introduces CRATE - a framework of Clarity, Regulation, Agency, Trust, and Energy—to help us navigate complexity with both cognitive insight and emotional intelligence. The book unfolds in three parts: understanding our nervous system, applying the CRATE model, and exploring how personal transformation impacts teams and communities. Perfect for founders, leaders, and anyone feeling adrift, this is a guide to embracing emotion and complexity as tools for growth - and learning to flow with, not fight against, the tides of life.

With twenty years of experience directing digital marketing initiatives for brands such as Colgate-Palmolive, Gerber, Century 21, Mall of America, Wizard World, and A&E - as well as leading grassroots viral campaigns in entertainment - Dessy harnesses the power of storytelling to drive meaningful change in individuals, organizations, and social systems. Previously, Dessy worked as a creative director in consumer advertising before transitioning to the role of Managing Director and Head of Story at 645 Ventures, a premier early-stage venture capital firm in New York City. There, Dessy specialized in emerging technology investments, including VR, AR, and machine learning, as well as consumer brands.

CRATE Framework Explained: Dessy Levinson’s Science-Backed Guide to Emotional Clarity

In this heart-to-heart episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends to explore a question many of us have quietly wondered: Do the people we love see us more clearly than we see ourselves?

Through a thoughtful and emotional conversation, we reflect on the parts of ourselves we often overlook—our strengths, our passions, and the moments we truly feel like “ourselves.” You’ll hear honest insights, gentle reminders, and a few surprises along the way.

Episode 3: “Do My Friends Know Me Better Than I Do?”

  This episode challenges the stories we tell ourselves—and others—when reality doesn't match our expectations. Sometimes we get mad at people for choices we allowed, we ignored, or we were too afraid to confront. It’s time to tell the truth about the lies we tell ourselves.

Episode 116: Lies You Tell

In this uplifting and perspective-shifting episode of Older & Bolder, Debbie McCulloch sits down with celebrated speaker and author Darci Lang, whose signature message—Focus on the 90%—has inspired thousands across the country to reframe their lives with clarity, kindness, and intention.

Darci shares how choosing to see the positive 90% of our lives, instead of obsessing over the 10% that drags us down, can be a transformational practice. Through relatable stories and self-deprecating humour, Darci reflects on how negative thoughts, complaints, and judgment sneak into our everyday interactions—and how we can retrain ourselves to look through a more empowering lens.

You'll laugh, reflect, and maybe even grab your own mental magnifying glass as Darci invites us to embrace small mindset shifts that can have powerful ripple effects.

Darci is the author of four inspiring books: Focus on the 90%, Living the 90%, Lead the 90%, and Embrace the 90%—and she’s a nationally recognized keynote speaker who continues to spread her message of positivity and resilience from the stage to the page.

Season 3 Ep 30: Darci Lang, Choosing What To Focus On

In this episode, we explore the subtle art of perception management—how we shape how we’re seen in three powerful areas of life: relationships, religion, and the self.
But at the heart of this conversation is something deeper: observation.
Because when we’re being observed—by others, by God, even by ourselves—we change. We measure. We perform. And sometimes, we lose the very essence of who we are.
Together, we’ll explore:
	•	The “observer effect” in relationships: how love becomes performance.
	•	The tension between divine observation and spiritual performance.
	•	The inner critic as the most relentless observer of all.
	•	How observation can evolve from control into accountability that heals.
This episode is for anyone craving authenticity—anyone ready to be seen, not just admired.
Key Themes: → Perception vs. truth → Observation as invitation, not surveillance → Self-measurement & spiritual performance → Gentle accountability over harsh self-judgment
Closing Reflection: Can you live in truth even when you’re being watched? And more importantly—can you be honest, even when no one is?

Ep.36-Perception, Observation & the Truth We Hide

English Description:
This song explores the tension between personal pace and external expectations. It highlights how striving for precision or taking things easy can both draw criticism, and it ultimately celebrates individuality and freedom of choice. Listeners are invited to embrace their own style and understand that being true to oneself is a unique signature.

Deutsche Beschreibung:
Dieses Lied thematisiert den Konflikt zwischen dem eigenen Tempo und den Erwartungen von außen. Es zeigt, wie Genauigkeit oder Gelassenheit gleichermaßen kritisiert werden, und feiert schließlich Individualität und die Freiheit der Entscheidung. Zuhörer sollen ihren eigenen Stil annehmen und begreifen, dass Authentizität das eigene Markenzeichen ist.

My Signature

For anyone who's been told they had it easy — while quietly carrying everything.

This is a song for the strong-but-soft. The ones who learned to travel light after hauling too much for too long.
It’s not about detachment — it’s about clarity.
Not about ease — but effort made invisible.
A quiet defiance. A breath. A boundary.

🎧 Tier: Opus
Theme: Personal empowerment, transitions, emotional reclaiming

Strength doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes, it floats.

Float (so I must have it easy)

Some awakenings knock the wind out of you. Others arrive in fragments — a memory, a pattern, a slow unraveling of the world you thought was real. In “Many Paths of Awakening,” we explore the quiet, nonlinear, and often overlooked routes to soul remembrance. If you’ve ever questioned whether your experience “counts,” this episode will help you reclaim it. We unpack the spiral nature of awakening, the difference between “woke” and awake, and the moments that change everything — even if no one else sees them.

✨ 3 general topics covered in this episode:
    Awakening without crisis: the slow path of remembrance
    The shift from “woke” performance to embodied awareness
    Recognizing the subtle doorways of transformation

🔥 3 related episode titles:

Many Paths of Awakening

In a world that constantly pushes you to be more, do more, and fix what's “wrong,” it’s quietly revolutionary to pause — and notice what’s already right within you. This audio blog is your reminder that you’re not broken or behind. You have strengths — and they deserve to be seen, trusted, and used.

Join us for a gentle, science-backed reflection on how to rediscover and celebrate your core strengths — from courage and creativity to empathy and resilience. Whether you’re just starting your mental health journey or deep in self-discovery, this episode offers practical tools, reflective prompts, and a calming space to reconnect with who you really are.

Embracing Your Strengths: A Reflection on What Makes You, You

Das Paradox von Polaritäten ist: sie sind Gegensätze, die zusammengehören, wie Freiheit und Sicherheit oder Stabilität und Veränderung. Sie sind keine Probleme, die man lösen kann, sondern Pole, die man ausbalancieren muss.
In einer Gesellschaft oder in einem Unternehmen gibt es unterschiedliche Meinungen, Interessen oder Bedürfnisse. Manche Menschen wünschen sich klare Regeln, andere mehr Flexibilität. Manche wollen schnelle Entscheidungen, andere möchten lieber nachdenken. Beide Seiten haben einen Wert und erzeugen gleichermaßen Spannungen. Wie kann ich mich solchen Polaritäten wertstiftend umgehen?


Folge 16: Achtsamer Umgang mit Polarisierung

Life changes can feel overwhelming—but your emotional response is valid.

In this calming audio reflection from AvaMind, we explore why transitions trigger so many feelings, how to move through them with compassion, and how Ava can support you along the way.

The Emotional Rollercoaster of Life Transitions | AvaMind Audio Reflection

Week 2 – Entering the Inner World
Welcome to Week 2 of Break Free & Reinvent Me.
In this meditation, you'll begin learning how to access the operating system of your inner world—the place where real and lasting change begins.

We start by settling into the body and anchoring into the present moment with gentle breath awareness. Then we introduce a simple square breathing pattern to create calm, focus, and coherence between mind and body.

You’ll then be guided through a powerful awareness practice—imagining yourself floating in space, observing the space around and within your body—designed to help you shift out of the familiar and into the field of possibility.

This induction will become your foundation for future meditations, helping you drop beneath the surface of life and into the space where your true transformation begins.

Week 2 INDUCTION MEDITATION

This Week: Summer and Winter are anchoring in with the New Moon. We are invited to dance with the FIRE and WATER from within. With great courage, radical honesty, and self-awareness, we are ready to bridge and strengthen our relationship with your true self and the divine.

"Yoga Sutra 1.3: Realization of Our True Nature:  In Sanskrit, this sutra is expressed as “Tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe’vasthānam.” Sri Swami Satchidananda’s translation is the most commonly used: “Then the seer (the self) abides in its own true nature.”"

Simply. Listen. Rest in the Void.

The NEW Moon reached full potency on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 12:11 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).

Questions:
Who are you? (respond beyond the I AM and identities associated with this present moment)
Are you ready to live and share your TRUE Self?
What eternal gifts are ready to be shared?


Weekly talks are an offering to assist you in diving deeper into a spiritual practice, exploring your inner landscape, and cultivating inner peace.

BeSimply...Sovereignty. Serve {Sol + Luna New Moon 7 + 6}

Truth-tellers aren't just honest people—they're human mirrors reflecting back what others hide from themselves, explores why speaking to the subtext beneath people's words creates such strong reactions, the shared responsibility in difficult conversations, and how to navigate being someone who sees through social scripts.
We dive into the psychology of resistance, when truth-telling helps vs. harms, and why society needs its uncomfortable mirror-holders even when we don't want to look. ,

Welcome #RDDC and #FDS Familianz! You are now tuning to #Heck vs Hell, 
#MansStrength… 
True strength of a man is valued from so many perspectives based on the line of work, 
philosophy or foundations. In many, tears and tenderness is seen as a weakness from 
almost every worldly perspective of what a man should be. 
From what we’ve truly seen and can even look to scientific studies as well as psychological 
ones, true strength comes from vulnerability. The ability to submit, because whether it’s 
submitting to a power above yourself, or a manner of living, it can change your entire life’s 
direction. Just as Christ submitted to God from the flesh and to the Spirit giving Him the 
greatest feat of vulnerability and legacy, so too can proper submission allow us to release 
the greatness within us truly showing a #MansStrength…  - #RDDC #realdoubledosechannel #FDS #flipdaswitch #spiritandmindelevation #TwB FOR

🎙️ Stepping Up Podcast | A Personal Journey of Growth, Healing & Self-Sovereignty

I don’t have all the answers, but I do have stories. My stories. Stories of growth, hard lessons, and unexpected insights. The Stepping Up Podcast is where I share my own journey — the successes, the struggles, and the realizations along the way. If something resonates, take it. If not, leave it.

🌿 What I Explore:
🔹 Power & Sovereignty – Redefining strength beyond control
🔹 Emotional Intelligence – How feelings guide, challenge, and teach us
🔹 Healing & Transformation – Navigating the messy, beautiful process of growth
🔹 Spiritual & Personal Awareness – Discovering who we are beyond the surface
🔹 The Role of Ego – Learning to work with it, not against it

I’m a student of life, just like you. This isn’t about “knowing it all” or telling anyone what to do — it’s about exploring what works, what doesn’t, and what might be possible. If you’re asking questions, seeking deeper understanding, or just curious about the unfolding path… step up with me.

✨ Step into Your Power. Expand Your Awareness. Own Your Evolution. ✨
